Some folks just cannot catch a break..

SLIDELL, La.


A FEMA trailer being used by a couple who lost their home in Hurricane Katrina burst into flames, severely burning the husband and incinerating most of their remaining possessions.

The blast, which followed the January explosion of another Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer, appeared to have been sparked by a lit cigarette igniting propane gas that had seeped into the travel camper, fire officials said.

Linda Meyer said she and her husband escaped through a portion of the trailer that was blown off by the explosion Wednesday morning.

John Meyer, 49, was hospitalized with third-degree burns over 40 percent of his body. Linda Meyer, 54, was treated for second-degree burns on her hand, authorities said.
